James Hoare Co Kerry

Hello, I am hoping you will be able to help me. I am looking for any information on my Great,Great,Great Grandfather. I have been told the following from family members but I am not sure how accurate it is. His name was James Hoare. He married Nora Moriarty of West Dingle and they lived in the Cloghan/ Lissnakealvee area Co Kerry. They had a son James around 1830 he married Johanna Riordan. James (Sen) wasthen apparently transported to Botany Bay, Australia and never returned to Ireland as was so often the case.

I have searched all the convict records and have found a few men by the name James Hoare but without any real time line eg sentencing documents, marriage or both James birth dates or marriage date, I dont know if any of these men are my GGG grandfather. There is also a number of men who went to America by the same name around the same period so I am wondering if he went there and over the years the story has been changed.

Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your assistance.

Kind regards Mairead Hoare
